If you have a career in research, or if you aspire to have a career in research, you must watch (or read) Dick Hamming's "You and Your Research". Easily the best advice out there on the subject. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=a1zDuOPk… Transcript: cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouA…

An app developed by researchers in @AbeDavis’ group uses augmented reality to help users repeatedly capture images with a phone or tablet from the same location to make time-lapse videos. ReCapture is now available in the Apple app store. Read more: bit.ly/3tDxHMa

Is there a doctor on the plane? -Yes, but not that kind of doctor. -The passenger in 36c is trying to inpaint an image using a pre-trained stable diffusion model and simply copy-pastes the inpainting observed part in place, after each iteration! -Ok, I got this.

I'll tell you a secret about having more impact. You've got to focus on fewer things, ideally just one -- your most ambitious idea. And you've got to commit and finish it.

AI can unlock joint human/computer creativity! Imagen is one direction we are pursuing: gweb-research-imagen.appspot… "A high contrast portrait of a very happy fuzzy panda dressed as a chef in a high end kitchen making dough. There is a painting of flowers on the wall behind him."

Very exciting 'breaking' news! CompVis (research group behind VQGAN) have just released a new 1.45B parameter model to its Latent Diffusion model: github.com/CompVis/latent-di… From the released image it seems like it has an unprecedented text-synthesis capacity. More to follow soon
